Sandi Morris Named USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The top-ranked University of Arkansas women’s track and field team will be represented by 15 national qualifiers in 10 events at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships. The national meet will be held March 13-14 in Fayetteville at the Randal Tyson Track Center for the 12th time in program history.

A two-day, all-session ticket for the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships is $40 for reserved seating and $30 for general admission. Tickets for the national meet are available for purchase HERE, by contacting the Razorback Ticket Center at 800-982-HOGS (4647) or visiting the Ticket Center located just east of Baum Stadium at 1295 S. Razorback Road.

The Razorbacks return a pair indoor national champions from last year in Dominique Scott and Chrishuna Williams who were members of the victorious distance-medley relay in Albuquerque, N.M. Sparkle McKnight has an outdoor NCAA title to her credit. Of its 15 national entries, Arkansas carries six top-five marks with an NCAA leader in Scott at 3,000 meters. The Razorbacks will have multiple entries in the 400 meters, pole vault and pentathlon.

Arkansas opened its championship season with the program’s fifth SEC indoor team title last weekend in Lexington, Ky. Over two days, the team scored 130 points behind a program-best six event titles with wins from Scott in the mile and at 3,000 meters, Williams at 800 meters, Sandi Morris in the pole vault and its 4×400-meter and distance-medley relays. The win gave the program its 24th overall SEC team title.

Arkansas has six top-five national finishes in its history including three podium—top four—efforts which happened most recently in 2013 at the Tyson Center. At that same meet, the Razorbacks scored a program-best 42.5 points. Arkansas was sixth at last year’s NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque.
